<p>Would it make sense to retire the <code>#compiler</code> channel on Discord? I think everyone regularly involved with rustc is present on Zulip now?</p>

<p>I think me and <span class="user-mention" data-user-id="119009">@eddyb</span> are the main holdouts but we're both on zulip too</p>

<p>It's nice there's a place for random compiler chatter and q&amp;a but it seems like most longer conversations get redirected here. I'd be in favor of cutting out the middle man and retiring the channel. It seems like that's kind of happened unofficially anyway.</p>

<p>I keep redirecting people here otherwise there's not a lot of answers they might get</p>

<p>Yeah, that's very true. Unless you have a lot of people around the clock who can answer questions like #beginners does, stuff tends to get lost in Discord anyway.</p>

<p>I petition against discord use for OSS projects mostly because the values of that service are just directly contradictory with values a typical oss contributor will have.</p>

<p>This in turn will mean that you’ll inevitably have a split in who wants or is able to remain on discord to ask questions</p>

<p>so its better to just not have the channel there so that people with questions find their way to zulip</p>

<p>I agree with you, about a trillion percent. Discord is... well. <a href="https://sneak.berlin/20200220/discord-is-not-an-acceptable-choice-for-free-software-projects/">Not great with regards to their users</a></p>
